ORIGINAL: OrpheusAgonistes The single most effective way to end illegal immigration is to punish people who hire illegals. I don't mean a slap on the wrist and a wink and a fine and "Oh don't do that again and we'll see y'all in church next Sunday okay?" I mean deport the workers and make the people who hired them (as gardeners, as undocumented domestic help, to work in some sweatshop, whatever) wish to God they'd never even thought about considering hiring an illegal worker. I mean burn it down and salt the fucking earth. But nobody is willing to do that. Do you know why? Because too many of the people hiring illegals are good God-fearing capitalists who vote, who go to church, who give money to politicians. I have said this more than once on more than one of these types of threads. We like to blame gov't...and granted, gov't could do more....but we are our own worst obstacle of getting rid of illegals because we enable them with money to live here and send some back home to their country. When I hear people repeatedly, over and over, crying about what Obama isn't doing...turning their heads the other way to businesses that hire these illegals because "they couldn't afford to stay in business if they hired people the legal way"...then I guess we set ourselves up for this mess. And we're setting it up to remain that way, because you can't have it both ways. You can't get rid of illegals, if you give illegals incentives to be here. And hiring them illegally just so a business can save a few bucks and deny a citizen of this country a job, is not Obama's fault.
